19th Fix

[techno_mancer]

OK! Now that this whole terrible milk business was behind them, Quinn Hatch was ready to get back to normal Mayfield routines. Which meant checking on his housemates to make sure everyone was alive and sane again. It also meant he had to make a visit to Cyuss's place, but not before stopping at the bakery for a cake. He had promised to bring

[Ken just happens to look out the window to see Quinn having a powwow of some sort with his motorcycle. Uhhhh]

Dude! What the hell are you doing with my bike! [He's not angry, just...WTF]

[techno_mancer]

[OH IT'S A NON-MAYFIELDIAN BIKE, LET US TALK TO IT SHALL WE?

That's exactly what it looks like. There's a drunk man sitting on the ground next to your bike with his hand on it, talking with it. He looks up at Ken.]

Oh man. 'S this yours? It's a nice ride, man.

[weiss_tank]

[Definitely a non Mayfield bike. That thing has been all over Tokyo, and by all over, I mean used as an escape bike from assassinations, just normal oh god I need out of the house rides, and once as a tool of actually taking someone out. It is a bad ass bike.

And of course Ken is very proud of it. Even if it's no Ducati.]

Yeah she's mine. Thanks, it took me forever to save up for it...You ok there man?

[techno_mancer]

Dude, your bike has lived the life of an action movie hero! I'm super jealous.

Oh yeah, fine. I mean, I am completely trashed but other than that, super.

[weiss_tank]

W-what...?

Well, ok, I was figurin' you were drunk off your ass. That'd explain why you're sittin' there talkin' to my bike.

Do you want some coffee or somethin'?

[techno_mancer]

I could do that without bein' drunk. I mean, I can talk to stuff like this. Machines. Electronics. They got personalities, ya know. Any your bike is a badass. And it's nice to talk to somethin' that ain't from Mayfield for a change.

[Quinn starts to stand up now, shakily, leaning on the bike to support and thanking it as he does.]

Naw man, I'm good. I'm beautiful. Perfecto.

[weiss_tank]

Well she is kinda awesome...I had to save up for a year and a half to afford 'er. You really can talk to 'em?

Alright, should I call someone to pick you up? I mean, you can't really stand on your own.

[techno_mancer]

Yep! 'S what I do. Good at it too. They love me.

Naw, seriously, 'm fine. I don't live far from here. I think. What direction's Brady Lane from here again?

[weiss_tank]

I guess so... [Ken paused for a minute and then pointed down the road] It's that way mister but you have a little bit to go.

[techno_mancer]

"Mister"? What, do I look like my dad now? I'm way taller'n him. It's Quinn. And thanks, man. I can handle it. You take care of that glorious bike, okay?

[weiss_tank]

I will she's kinda my pride and joy. Nice to meetcha Quinn, I'm Ken, but I wont be shocked if you don't remember tomorrow.

[techno_mancer]

No way. I'll remember! You'll see. I never forget a pretty face.

[weiss_tank]

Pretty? Where? [Quinn has used 'Confuse!' it's super effective!]

[techno_mancer]

[He laughs.] Aw man. See? Adorable. Take it easy! [And off he beings to stagger!]

[weiss_tank]

Go home Quinn, don't get hit by a car or something... [He may stay outside to make sure Quinn goes the right way and doesn't fall over or something.]
